AFAIC, you get more inconsistency if umpires are allowed to address this on their own volition without a coach's request. You may have put a stop to it yesterday in your game because the noise bothered you, but I don't do anything about it today because I'm not phased by it.
So to me, it doesn't matter whether or not the rule requires the opposing coach to lodge a complaint. You're still going to get some umpires who will put a stop to it right away, and others who won't give a flip. |
